Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

"It's tough, it'll be fine after a good night's sleep!"

I get hungry very quickly!

After every battle, I need to eat a lot to relieve my hunger!

Old Zhao patted his chest, then grinned.

"That poison from the Ghost Beehive was truly terrifying; I still feel lingering fear to this day."

Night Boy took so many hits…

Tsk.

He was incredibly surprised by Su Ye's endurance and recovery ability.

"He has his own methods."

Chen Shou waved his hand and looked at Su Ye, who was loading things onto the bread cart.

"Since he has proven his worth, he should be given what he deserves."

Let's keep observing!

As long as he continues to deal with the supernatural and doesn't target the living...

Ah!

Those are our people.

Lin Wei nodded slightly, which was taken as agreement.

Old Zhao chuckled:

"I think that kid knows what he's doing; he doesn't seem like a madman."

"I hope so."

Chen Shou stubbed out his cigarette.

"Go and rest. We can have two days off this time, so we can relax a bit."

···

Su Ye didn't hear the discussion about him, or rather, even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

Today, when he encountered the eerie bees, they didn't attack him first before he attacked, which led him to make a very bold guess.

No rush, there's plenty of time ahead!

Su Ye began loading her share of supplies into the bread cart.

There wasn't a lot of stuff, but the van had limited space, so he had to plan ahead.

He opened the car door and began arranging the supplies according to the most practical logic:

The heaviest six barrels of gasoline were securely placed directly behind the driver's seat, with a little space between them and the seat.

Next came four 10-kilogram bags of rice and flour, stacked right next to the gasoline to form a buffer.

At the very back of the carriage, four boxes of mineral water and two boxes of canned goods were stacked up for easy access.

The cardboard boxes containing biscuits and snacks were used to fill all the gaps between the rice and flour tanks and the water tank.

Finally, the medicines and toolbox that might be needed at any time were placed under the passenger seat and in the handrail.

After all this was done, the rear of the carriage was mostly occupied by supplies.

However, a space was still left so that he could lie down.

Looking at the hard, unyielding floor of the train carriage, they asked Old Liu for some cardboard boxes and cardboard to lay down on it.

Then there's the hiking backpack, which comes with a ready-made pillow; just put it at one end.

A place to stay was thus created, and he lay down on it immediately.

Ah!

Mother Earth, I have changed my mind!

At night, when the noise of the camp finally subsided.

Su Ye lay on the hard wooden board, closed his eyes, and communicated with the [alternative] sequence in his consciousness.

He wasted no time; the moment the idea of ​​strengthening the car arose, a response came.

Upgrading the vehicle (bread van) to an off-road bread van requires 30000 points of Mysterious Power.

That's fucking outrageous. Even though he saved 20000 points, it's still not something he could possibly collect.

This road is not a viable option.

He then focused his attention on the car's components, such as the tires.

He wondered what it would take to make them more reliable.

[Enhancement Target: Four tires (Improve basic wear resistance and puncture resistance). Requires: 400 points of Unorthodox Power.]

Too expensive.

He only has 1773 points in total.

The focus shifted to the more crucial component: the engine.

If it could be more powerful...

[Enhancement Target: Engine (Displacement increased from 1.0 liters to 1.5 liters, power increased). Requires: 1000 points of Unorthodox Power.]

It is almost half of his existing strange powers.

Su Ye felt a pang of heartache.

Unwilling to give up, an even more extravagant thought crossed his mind:

If it could burn more than just oil...

[Modification Goal: Add a battery pack, motor, and related components to convert it into a hybrid electric system. Requires: 35000 points of Unorthodox Power.]

This number completely dispelled all his unrealistic fantasies.

Body, suspension...

He probed each item one by one, and the "price" he received for each item made him frown.

There is no cheap one.

Just as he was getting a little frustrated with the calculations, a stream of information flowed into his mind from the [Alien] sequence:

[Providing physical parts allows for 'adaptation and fusion,' reducing resource consumption. 'Repairing' existing parts only further reduces resource consumption.]

Considering that all four tires of this bread truck were quite worn, I couldn't resist giving it a try.

[Repair Objective: Restore four worn tires to brand new condition. Requires 80 points of Unseen Power.]

Su Ye opened her eyes in the darkness and let out a long breath.

Generating or upgrading directly is too expensive.

Repairs are tolerable; 80 points can make a tire look brand new.

If a tire blows out or gets punctured in the future, it can be repaired directly.

However, if we encounter a suitable vehicle next time, we can remove some good parts and use some mysterious power to adapt and fuse them to upgrade the vehicle.

However, the strange power should be used first to strengthen one's own body.

The car is important, but it has to come later.

Once the thought was settled, the mind relaxed.

The night passed without incident, accompanied only by the sound of the wind in the wilderness outside the car and the cold, icy sensation of the strange power flowing through his body like a stream.

……

The next day, it was not yet noon.

Old Liu's hushed voice could be heard outside the car window:

"Su Ye, the captain wants you to go to the tent. There's something he needs you to do."

Su Ye opened his eyes, the black and red intertwined tentacles on his hand retracted, and the trace of bloodlust in his eyes quickly disappeared.

He stood up briskly, pushed open the bread cart door, and walked out.

"immediately."

Su Ye nodded to Lao Liu, zipped up his slightly disheveled tracksuit, and walked toward the familiar marching tent in the center of the camp.

Lifting the curtain to go inside, Old Zhao and Lin Wei were already there.

Old Zhao sat on a folding stool, eating and drinking from a tin can, his face ruddy.

Lin Wei was also sitting on a folding stool, a lollipop dangling from her mouth, rolling it back and forth.

Chen Shouzheng was laying out a map on the table with some markings on it.

Hearing the noise, he looked up and called out to Su Ye:

"Here it comes."

Please sit down!

"Team Leader Chen."

Su Ye nodded and sat down in the empty folding chair.

"Let's get down to business."

Chen Shou pointed to a spot on the map, which was their current location on the riverbank. He had roughly drawn several circles around it with a pencil.

"Based on my current perception, there are more than 30 strange creatures wandering around within a 50-kilometer radius around us."

Seven of them are within a 20-kilometer radius.

There are three closest to us.

However, even with these three most recent ones, given the natural appeal of our team,

It's estimated that they won't reach the critical point of detecting our convoy until at least tomorrow night.

His finger moved eastward, pointing to a road sign about thirty kilometers away:

"This is the troublesome part."

Two hours ago, the two strange creatures that were originally lurking in this direction began to move rapidly along this road, as if attracted by some living thing.

Judging from the trajectory, it was most likely triggered by a passing convoy, and...

They're generally heading this way.
